Blue Jean Overalls

She's covered in blue jean overalls that she painted A work of art that speaks in every language She paints to tell a story she never could She starts with the pain that she still holds That she covers with color 'til no one knows You don't see the tears running down her face She'll never tell you she's been drinking in the dark How she falls asleep on the floor when life's too hard How no one will ever know, 'cause she plays her part She'll never tell you that she sees pain, where you see art She pours her morning coffee like it's her last Then pours her heart on a canvas she can't take it back She leaves an empty space for you, just in case She starts with the hatred that she holds That she covers with color 'til no one knows You don't see the tears running down her face She'll never tell you she's been drinking in the dark How she falls asleep on the floor when life's too hard How no one will ever know, 'cause she plays her part She'll never tell you that she sees pain Yellows turn to orange, then red To the color of red wine blood Blues like the skies from the morning light To the shadows, left untouched She'll never tell you she's been drinking in the dark How she falls asleep on the floor when life's too hard How no one will ever know, 'cause she plays her part She'll never tell you that she sees pain, where you see art
